Old-Fashioned Oat Scones “A recipe from a longtime friend. When I make this I think of her — and a soft chair and a good book in front of a fire.”
1 cup	all-purpose flour	250 mL
1 cup	rolled oats	250 mL
2 tbsp.	granulated sugar	25 mL
1 tsp.	cream of tarter	5 mL
1/2 tsp.	baking soda	2 mL
1/2 tsp.	salt	2 mL
1/4 cup	butter or margarine	50 mL
1/2 cup	milk	125 mL
1	egg yolk (optional)	1
1 tbsp.	water (optional)	15 mL
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet. Measure out 2 tbsp. (25 mL) of the flour and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining flour with the rolled oats, sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until it is in very small pieces. Using a fork, mix in milk. Dough should be soft but not sticky. If necessary, add reserved flour until dough has desired texture. Do not over mix or scones will become tough. Form dough into a ball and place on lightly floured surface. Pat or roll into circle 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter, turning dough over once or twice and lightly re-flouring surface if necessary. Place circle of dough on baking sheet and cut into 8 wedges. Make egg wash, if desired, by lightly beating egg yolk and water with a fork until just combined; brush over top of scones. Bake for 15 - 18 minutes, until golden brown. Makes 8 scones. Serve warm. A Tip on Reheating Scones Place on baking sheet and warm in a 350ºF (180ºC) oven for about 5 minutes. If scones are frozen, they will take about 10 minutes.
